Call for Participants

We invite researchers at all career stages to take part in the Slam, whether individually or in pairs. If you work in neuroscience, data science, AI, ethics, or any related field relevant to EBRAINS, this is your chance to showcase your ideas and results in a creative and memorable way.

Each presenter will have a short slot of a maximum of 10 minutes to captivate the audience. Slams can be supported with any visuals you choose, including slides, videos, or props. Following each slam, an open mic session will allow for audience questions and discussions.

To participate, please submit a short abstract with a title and description (maximum 250 words).

Science Communication Workshop

Interested but unsure how to start? We’ve got you covered! All participants will be invited to join a Science Communication Training Workshop before the event.

This hands-on session will introduce the basics of public science communication and help you tailor your content for a non-specialist audience and for the unique format of a Science Slam.

The workshop will be led by Dr. Alexander Lammers, who has worked in interdisciplinary and international research teams for several years.
